Final places up for grabs in Scottish Cup and Plate last four

 

Men’s Scottish Cup
Inverleith progressed to tomorrow’s cup semi-final against Hillhead after winning a dramatic last eight encounter against defending cup holders Grove Menzieshill last weekend.
Adam MacKenzie’s last minute equaliser took the contest to a penalty shoot-out decider, with the Purple Robes coming out on top against Chris Anderson’s side.
Hillhead’s passage to tomorrow’s contest was equally tense, the Hornets winning an epic penalty shoot-out against local rivals PSL Team Sport Clydesdale.
Can Hillhead continue this season’s success story with a cup final appearance or will MacKenzie’s penalty corner expertise see the Robes return to Glasgow next Saturday?
Many may see Grange as the favourites for the cup based on league form, but AAM Gordonians’ strong end to the league campaign would suggest tomorrow’s last four match-up is not an easy one to call.
The capital outfit strolled to a 9-0 win over St.Andrew’s University in last week’s quarter-final, while the Aberdonians edged out Dundee Wanderers after the two sides played out an eleven goal thriller at Countesswells.
Women’s Scottish Cup
Milne Craig Clydesdale Western could be on course for a league and cup double if they can overcome CALA Edinburgh in the first last four fixture to reach next Saturday’s final.
The Titwood outfit were comfortable 4-1 winners over Inverleith Ladies in last week’s quarter-final, while the Edinburgh side defeated local rivals Watsonians 3-1.
Form will favour this season’s league champions.
A closer contest to call is the second semi-final between Grove Menzieshill and Edinburgh University.
Both sides will be without several key international players with selection for the Commonwealth Games approaching so it will be interesting to see how the teams react.
The Taysiders cantered to a 7-0 win over Western Wildcats in the quarter-final, with the students in equally impressive form, downing Dundee Wanderers 6-1 away from home.
Men’s Scottish Plate
Uddingston will start as favourites in Saturday’s Scottish Plate semi-final against 2020 Renewables Greenock after a prolific season in front of goal.
Never count out an upset though, especially as this season’s National League Division 3 champions also bring a century of league goals to the party.
Uddingston squeezed into the semi-final after a 3-2 win over league rivals Falkirk GHG, while Greenock put Perthshire out the plate with a 4-2 success.
Dundee University eased into tomorrow’s second plate semi-final with a 9-2 win over local rivals FMGMM Monarchs. Opponents Granite City Wanderers also cruised into the last four with a 5-0 win against Stirling Wanderers.
Will a goal-fest ensue as both sides battle it out for a final spot?
Women’s Scottish Plate
Edinburgh University II and Glasgow Accies face up to each other in a last four encounter tomorrow. The student defeated fellow scholars St.Andrew’s University 3-1 in their quarter-final, while Accies strolled to a 5-0 win over Aberdeen University.
Granite City Wanderers overcame city rivals Aberdeen Ladies with a narrow 2-1 win to set-up the second semi-final against Stirling Wanderers.
Meanwhile, the Women’s Championship side caused an upset by springing a 5-3 surprise over National League Division 1 side Grange EL.

The last four of the Men’s and Women’s Scottish Cup and Plate semi-finals take place at Peffermill this Saturday, with teams battling it out for a place in the finals at Glasgow National Hockey Centre next weekend.
